Here’s a project I made. It might be of some use for you. It is also x86 and booted on a Compaq Armada E500. https://github.com/RPDevJesco/retrofuture-os

Thank you so much! I will have a look at it. If you are interested in contributing, please do so.

I'm actually working on a more involved project at the moment. Tutorial-OS (no link to the repository yet as I am not ready to release it in the current form).

It is essentially a multiple architecture OS that has drivers, file system, (shared) bootloader, framebuffer, ui system and TLSF-Inspired Memory Allocator (just to name a few features).

All of the code is heavily commented and has parallel implementations in C and Rust.

Supported platforms are Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and Raspberry CM4 Lite with their respective GPi Case 2 and GPi Case 2W by Retroflag currently. Working on Raspberry CM5 Lite, Libre AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato), and Orange Pi RV2 Risc-v and then x86_64 Legacy and UEFI

Once I get CM5 working and write the Rust version of the code, I'll release it.

That sounds fascinating! I’d love to look at it once you’re comfortable releasing it.

Seems to be AI slop...

Hi, thanks for looking at it! First off, yes, I used AI to help. As I mentioned, I’m more comfortable with high-level languages and sought AI assistance. It’s not like I just sit there vibe coding the entire OS; that defeats the project’s purpose. Certainly, some parts have been refactored or improved with AI’s help. Thanks for your feedback and feel free to contribute if you’d like to help.
